Live and act

Born in Heinrich Schwarz, he began his stage career shortly after the turn of the century. Initially still active in the provinces (most recently in the 1906/07 season at the Royal Theater of Bad Kissingen), Sarnow appeared at Berlin venues from 1907. Until the end of the Weimar Republic he was a member of the ensemble of the Friedrich-Wilhelmstädtisches Schauspielhaus, the Komödienhaus, the Volksbühne, the Kleiner Theater and most recently (1932) the Theater am Nollendorfplatz. Sarnow played in such completely different pieces as "Im bunt Rock", "Götz von Berlichingen" and " General York ". He was also allowed to stage plays on several stages, and occasionally the Viennese also worked as a playwright (e.g. “ When the lights are on ”).

Starting in 1913, numerous supporting roles in silent films and a few early sound films were added for almost two decades. There he played the entire range of batch tasks: officials, land managers, doctors, engineers, booksellers, Spaniards and French. In 1919 and 1920, Heinz Sarnow also directed several minor productions.

In 1933 the Jew Schwarz / Sarnow fled from the German National Socialists to Switzerland , where he initially found work as an actor and director at the city theater of Schaffhausen . Later it can also be found in Ragaz . Finally, Sarnow emigrated to the British Mandate Palestine (now Israel), where he died in Haifa during the Second World War, shortly before the age of 61.
